AdMob announced that it has now served up its 200 billionth (that’s with a b) mobile ad. AdMob is one of the world’s largest mobile ad networks and was first founded back in 2006. Incredibly, the company reached the 100 billionth ad milestone only nine months ago back in August 2009.

Chances are you’ve probably seen a mobile ad served up by AdMob. It’s ads are featured in a number of iPhone and Android applications in addition to mobile websites. With a milestone like serving up 200 billion mobile ads it’s no wonder why Google wants to acquire the company.

Google first announced its intention to acquire AdMob back in November 2009 in a deal worth $750 million. The deal still needs the approval of federal regulators who may be apprehensive about a quick approval considering the market share a combined Google and AdMob will have for online ad networks as a whole.
